Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'm just barely old enough to remember my Mom and her girlfriends having Tupperware parties at our neighbor's house. Given that I was about five or so, I found it strange that a bunch of ladies would gather to kvell over and then purchase sets of air-tight storage containers. I must admit, however, that with their bright primary colors, radially patterned lids and burping seals, the containers seemed pretty neat at the time. While I don't collect vintage Tupperware, I can almost understand people who do. What blows my mind is that not only is there an upcoming play about Tupperware, there's also a movie in the works. Both are timed to coincide with what would have been the 100th birthday of Earl Silas Tupper (1907-1983) who invented the plastic containers in 1945.
The play, Sealed for Freshness, a comedy by Doug Stone, opens in New York City next month. It takes place in the 1960s and involves five Midwestern women whose "airtight lives unravel during a sidesplitting Tupperware party gone awry."
Tupperware!, which is just about to start filming, takes a more serious approach tracing the genesis of the air-tight containers from leftover Dupont plastic to household word. Who knows, it might not be half bad. After all it comes from the pen of Jim Taylor of Sideways fame. Although it's sure to be the most comprehensive movie about Tupperware it's not the first to feature it. Apparently Tupperware Party and Love, Marriage & Tupperware started the genre.
